MVHCA Annual Picnic Celebration!
INSTEAD of having a business meeting on the fourth Monday of August we will be celebrating a very busy 2014-5 year — rally, hearing, meetings with legislators, 50th Medicare birthday, TR Reid-visit and much hard work! So it is time for a picnic-potluck.
Bring food you'd like to share: a casserole, a salad, a main dish or dessert—whatever you like and enough for a few others too. If you have plastic or metal plates, and silver and napkins, bring them along! and we’ll have some recyclable ware if you do not; we’ll take home what’s leftover and compost what waste we produce. If you have a large cloth tablecloth, bring it along and don’t forget it when you go home. We can relax and refresh, and get prepared to enjoy a provocative play (called “Mercy Killers”) on Sept. 19, 7 p.m., at Takena Hall at LBCC (tickets available at the potluck and at Grassroots Books too).
We’ll have food and conversation and a short program including a visit from the Health Care for All Oregon’s Outreach board member Nancy Sullivan who will very briefly describe strategies that HCAO is considering. We’ll also introduce a few other distinguished guests and make a few announcements, but mainly we’ll enjoy the evening. You can take a minute to have a photo petition made to show your legislators you favor health care for all, too.
You can help MVHCA as we work for publicly funded universal health care like the rest of the developed world by donating, hosting a house party, signing up for the newsletter, and attending our monthly meetings. You can also Like us on Facebook, and Follow us on Twitter. Thank you.
